One of my FHWA friends passed this Census game along, in case you haven’t found it yet.   

Population Bracketology (appropriate for March Madness)  based on population data—Metro or State.  It is a fun and an

interesting way to learn more about relative metro or State populations.  Your correct responses are in green and mistakes

show up in bright red.

I am a supporter of using gamification in transportation planning applications.  I would like to see more experimentation on using these kinds of techniques for studying mode choice and trip/activity planning.
